CLUBS AND WORKSHOPS

The lather and shave preaching process

The Lather & Shave Club

The Lather and Shave Club meets once a quarter at Abbotsford , Armidale and Wahroonga. It is a club designed to sharpen pastors in their preaching so that they may preach with more clarity as they expound and apply the Bible in their local contexts. We enjoy decent coffee, good food and a warm comradery. Our main aim, however, is to sharpen each other in the task of preaching faithfully, clearly, from the text and in an engaging manner. Each gathering starts with a presentation on an aspect of preaching. This is usually delivered by David. Following this we critique one another as we take turns in preaching a sermon.

We critique via the lather and shave method:
Lathering - what was good?
Shaving - where could this sermon be improved?

Currently three Mens’ Lather and Shave clubs meet once a quarter at Abbotsford, Armidale, Wahroonga and Sutherland. These clubs are designed to sharpen pastors preaching as they expound and apply the Bible in their local context.
